Questions Learners Have About Center Lines & Overtaking

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Center Lines & Overtaking, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the basic rule for a solid center line in the Netherlands?

In the Netherlands, a solid center line generally means you are not allowed to cross it, drive to its left (into oncoming traffic), change lanes, or overtake. There are, however, specific exceptions to this rule.

When is it allowed to cross a broken center line?

A broken center line may be crossed if it is safe to do so. This typically allows you to overtake other vehicles or change lanes, provided there is no danger or obstruction.

What is the difference between a normal broken line and a warning line?

A normal broken line has segments shorter than the space between them. A warning line has segments that are longer than the space between them. While both allow crossing, a warning line indicates that overtaking or crossing requires extra caution as the situation may be more dangerous.

Can I cross a solid center line if there is a broken line on my side?

Yes, if there is a broken line on your side of a combined solid and broken center line, you are allowed to cross the solid line, provided it is safe and legally permitted for your manoeuvre. The solid line applies to traffic on the other side.

Are there any situations where a solid line can be crossed?

Yes, exceptions include crossing an edge line to park in the verge, crossing a solid line to use an adjacent refuge, hard shoulder, or rush hour lane when necessary, or if there is a broken line on your side of a combined marking. Cyclists in cycle lanes with a solid line may also cross to overtake other cyclists.
